"When I sat down to write this track, I didn't know quite where it would lead me. All I knew from the offset was that I would allow the beat take my pen to wherever it wanted to go. I took inspiration from the greats that came before me and decided to make my own twist on the Hall and Oates classic but with a more modern feel. I tapped six time #1 Billboard Producer Brandon Alexander Hodge "BAM" and multi-platinum songwriter Omari Massenberg, "GO" to help me in the construction of this track. I believe that together we made a timeless masterpiece that pays homage to those legends who came before us, while simultaneously adding our own unique blend of sound and style as well."
